Serilog Bridge

Step 1: Installing the Packages​

Install the required packages via NuGet:

dotnet add package PrimusSaaS.Logging --version 1.2.6
dotnet add package Serilog.AspNetCore

Step 2: Configuring Program.cs​

Configure Serilog first, then add Primus Logging:

using PrimusSaaS.Logging.Extensions;
using Serilog;

Log.Logger = new LoggerConfiguration()
    .WriteTo.Console()
    .CreateLogger();

var builder = WebApplication.CreateBuilder(args);

builder.Logging.ClearProviders();
builder.Logging.AddPrimus(builder.Configuration.GetSection("PrimusLogging"));

var app = builder.Build();

app.UsePrimusLogging();
app.MapControllers();
app.Run();

Step 3: Configuring App Settings​

Configure the Serilog target in your appsettings.json:

{
  "PrimusLogging": {
    "ApplicationId": "MyService",
    "Environment": "Production",
    "MinLevel": 1,
    "Targets": [
      {
        "Type": "serilog"
      }
    ]
  }
}

Step 4: Configuring Endpoint​

Create an endpoint to test logging:

[HttpGet("ping")]
public IActionResult Ping()
{
    _logger.LogInformation("Ping received");
    return Ok(new { message = "pong" });
}

Step 5: Testing the Endpoint​

Run your application and test the endpoint:

curl -X GET "https://localhost:5001/ping"

Logs flow through Primus (with PII masking) Serilog your configured sinks.
